Hello everyone,

I find myself traveling more with my scarlet,
I wanted to see what you guys are using / would recommend as far
as a bag that can fit the Scarlet Body and the Misc. Parts / Lenses / Shoulder Mount that is ideal for Carry-on.
Thanks again, appreciate it!

Depending on what you want to carry with you, there are many good solutions. I personally use various Kata bags and backpacks. They are bullet proof, smart, and often available (last year's model) at very good prices. Kata also makes a line of airport rolling bags similar to Think Tank (also great) procurable for less and I think less obvious as expensive gear bags.
 
Thanks everybody,
I was looking through both the ThinkTank and Kata selection,
I look the Think Tank Photo Airport Accelerator Backpack,
Any users know if this will fit the Scarlet Body / Accessories ?

Thanks again,

I am currently traveling with the Burton Focus backpack and it works great.

I've got my Scarlet, 5" LCD, 6 Redvolts, 2 travel chargers, Zacuto Studio baseplate, Wooden Camera A-Box, V-Mount adapter, two RED bricks, Canon 16-35 LII, Canon 24-70 L, O'Connor OBox, 4 4x5.65 filters and a 138 mm Pola, Redmag Station, 5 Redmags, and a small portable harddrive, plus a Macbook Pro, power adapter, and mouse. Even packed out this heavily, it easily fits under a plane seat.

Think thank for sure, the aiport series are great and the biggest one even fits an 70-200 canon, standing up straight, saving a ton of room, also having wheels is a life saver :)
 
The large canon 5D bag is perfect. DSM vmount battery at the front, belt clip plate in the side, brain with attached 24-105mm lens and folded down 5" touch in main compartment and still plenty of room for red mags and filters. The bag fitted into my rucksack perfectly to save EasyJet additional luggage costs two days ago. Stick extra padding around the can & lens for safety and voila, one bag to rule them all.

Where was that location?! It was beautiful!
 
If your an adventure person, there is only one choice, f-stop gear. The bags are not the easiest to get into, as they load from the back, but the ICU (camera storage unit comes out) when you get to you destination, and the ICU comes in different sizes to suite your needs. The biggest plus is the pack won't draw attention to you as it looks like a normal adventure backpack with place for a water bladder. I've got some 16-20,000ft mountains to climb this year, and Fstop will be a life savor.

100% percent agree with Michael, F-Stop bags are top notch (and you pay $$ for that). A great feature for flying is even if they try to make you gate check the bag (if you are getting on a small commuter jet) you can pull the camera block (ICU) zip it up and now you have a small carry on that holds your cam and lenses! For me it is essential to get into the bag from the suspension side. If im putting my bag in snow or mud I DO NOT want to have to set my bag shoulder straps DOWN to access the camera. With accessing the camera from the shoulder straps I stay clean, dry and warmer because I aint getting snow or dirt jammed on me from my pack. I can't say enough about the F-stop features, if you go and get into extreme environments than these are the best camera bags bar none. They have features that are found on real alpine backpacks that allow you to carry all your snow safety gear as well as your camera gear. Super essential for my work.

For a travel roller though, nothing beats the LowePro Pro Roller!

Dane, yes, I forgot about how handy the removable ICU was on small commutor plane. It happen to me recently. One thing that sets this above any pack for the generic use is it is super comfortable to wear. I can't say that for the Lowpro's I've owned.
 
Kata Beetle BL282 gets my vote. It's totally secure from the back, and you can wear it then roll it without removing the trolley.
I get Scarlet, 4x Pag L96's, charger, Small HD DP4 with eye piece (which could be a Red EVF), redmags and station, power leads, microphone, xlrs, G-tech Minis, MacBook Pro and Canon 24-105 all in.
